How do I start a wash cycle?
Close the door, press the POWER button, then press PROGRAM to select a cycle. Press START to begin. The START light will illuminate.
How should I load cutlery for best results?
Place forks and spoons with handles down, knives with handles up. Use the cutlery grids to prevent sticking. For long knives, place them horizontally in the upper basket.
Why are my dishes not clean after a cycle?
Possible causes: wrong program selected, dishes blocking spray arms, dirty filters, insufficient detergent, or improper loading. Check and clean filters, ensure spray arms rotate freely, and select an appropriate program.
What should I do if the dishwasher does not fill with water?

First use

Before using your dishwasher for the first time:

  • Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply with installation instructions
  • Remove all packaging from inside the appliance
    ● Fill the rinse aid dispenser

Filling with rinse aid

Rinse aid ensures thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free drying.

Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse.

  1. Open the container by pressing the release button (A).

  1. Add the rinse aid in the container. The maximum level for filling is indicated by "max".

max

The dispenser holds about 110 ml of rinse aid, which is sufficient for between 16 and 40 dishwashing cycles, depending upon the dosage setting. According to the finish and drying results obtained, adjust the dose of rinse aid by means of the 6 position selector (position 1 minimum dosage, position 6 maximum dosage).

WESTINGHOUSE SB908WL - Filling with rinse aid - 3

natural_image Hand inserting a camera into a device, showing the number 3 on the dial and the number 2 on the other (no text or symbols present)

The dose is factory set in position 4. Increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots on the dishes after washing.

Reduce it if there are sticky whitish streaks on the dishes or a bluish film on glassware or knife blades.

  1. Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill.

Top up the rinse aid when the indicator (B) becomes clear.

WESTINGHOUSE SB908WL - Filling with rinse aid - 5

Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next wash.

Only use branded rinse aid for dishwashers.

Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other substances (e.g. dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This may damage the appliance.

Daily use

  • Check if it's necessary to refill with rinse aid.
  • Load cutlery and dishes into the dishwasher.
  • Fill with dishwasher detergent.
  • Select a wash program suitable for the cutlery and dishes.
  • Start the wash program.

Loading cutlery and dishes

Sponges, household cloths and any object that can absorb water must not be washed in the dishwasher.

● Before loading the dishes, you should:

  • Remove all left over food and debris.
  • Soften remnants of burnt food in pans

- When loading the dishes and cutlery, please note:

  • Dishes and cutlery must not impede the rotation of the spray arms.
  • Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans, etc. with the opening downwards so that water cannot collect in the container or a deep base.
  • Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one another, or cover each other.
  • To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch.
  • Lay small objects in the cutlery basket.

- Plastic items and pans with non stick coatings have a tendency to retain water drops; these items will not dry as well as porcelain and steel items.

For washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery and dishes

are not suitable: - Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or mother-of-pearls handles.
- Plastic items that are not heat resistant.
- Older cutlery with glued parts that are not temperature resistant.
- Bonded cutlery items or dishes.
- Pewter or copper items.
- Lead crystal glass.
- Steel items prone to rusting.
- Wooden platters.
- Items made from synthetics fibres.
are of limited suitability:- Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher if it is specially marked as being dishwasher-safe by the manufacturer.
- Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed frequently.
- Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to discolour during washing: Residues, e.g. egg white, egg yolk and mustard often cause discolouring and staining on silver. Therefore always clean left-overs from silver immediately, if it is not to be washed straight after use.

12 daily use

Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes.

The lower basket

The lower basket is designed to take saucepans, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery etc.

Serving dishes and large lids should be arranged around the edge of the basket, ensuring that the spray arms can turn freely.

The cutlery basket

WESTINGHOUSE SB908WL - The cutlery basket - 1

Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard.

Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket.

Take care when loading or unloading sharp items such as knives.

Forks and spoons should be placed in the removable cutlery basket with the handles facing downwards and the knives with their handles facing upwards.

For best results we recommend you use the cutlery grids.

If the size and dimensions of the cutlery do not allow the use of the grids, they can be easily hidden or removed.

Detergent tablets

Detergent tablets from different manufactures dissolve at different rates. For this reason, some detergent tablets do not attain their full cleaning power during short washing programmes. Therefore, please use long washing programmes when using detergent tablets, to ensure the complete removal of detergent residuals.

Use of Tablets

These products are detergents with a combined cleaning, rinsing and salt functions. They can also contain other agents depending on the kind of tablets you choose («3 in 1», «4 in 1», «5 in 1» etc...).

  1. Check whether these detergents are suitable for your water hardness. Follow manufacturers' instructions.

The refilling of the rinse aid dispenser is no longer necessary.

  1. Before starting the washing program put the tablet in the detergent dispenser.

WESTINGHOUSE SB908WL - Use of Tablets - 1

If the drying results are not satisfactory we suggest that you:

  1. Fill up the rinse aid dispenser with rinse aid.

  2. Set the rinse aid dosage to position 2.

Interrupt or cancel a washing program in progress ONLY if it's absolutely necessary.

Attention! Hot steam may escape when the door is opened. Open the door carefully.

Interrupt a washing program in progress:

  • Open the dishwasher door; the program will stop. Close the door; the program will start from the point at which it was interrupted.
  • Press the POWER button, all lights will turn off. Press the POWER button again; the program will start from the point at which it was interrupted.

Cancel a washing program in progress

- Press and hold simultaneously PROGRAM and button LOCK buttons (Cancel) until the program light indicator switches off, then the program has been cancelled and the key lock deactivated and a new program can be selected. If a new washing program is to be selected, check that there is detergent in the detergent dispenser.

End of the washing program

● The dishwasher will automatically stop.
● The light of the program just ended will remain on.
● The READY light illuminates.

  1. Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the POWER button.
  2. Open the dishwasher door, leave it ajar and wait a few minutes before removing the dishes; in this way they will be cooler and the drying will be improved.

Unloading the dishwasher

● Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks. Dishes should therefore be allowed to cool down before removing from the appliance.
● Empty the lower basket first and then the upper one; this will avoid water dripping from the upper basket onto the dishes in the lower one.
● Water may appear on the sides and the door of the dishwasher as the stainless steel will eventually become cooler than the dishes.

(1)

Ideal for washing a partially loaded dishwasher. This is the perfect daily program, made to meet the needs of a family of 4 persons who only wish to load breakfast and dinner crockery and cutley.

(2)

The “NORMAL ECO” program is recommended to wash a full 12 place setting load of normally soiled dishes. It saves energy and water. Because it runs at a lower temperature, it is not suitable for heavily soiled wash loads. To save energy, dry performance is reduced so you may have to open the door at the end of the wash cycle or even towel dry some dishes.

Care and cleaning

Cleaning the filters

The filters must be checked and cleaned from time to time. Dirty filters will degrade the washing result.

WESTINGHOUSE SB908WL - Cleaning the filters - 1

Before cleaning the filters ensure that the machine is switched off.

  1. Open the door, remove the lower basket.
  2. The dishwasher filter system comprises a coarse filter (A), a microfilter (B) and a flat filter. Unlock the filter system using the handle on the microfilter.

A B

  1. Turn the handle about 14 a turn anticlockwise and remove the filter system.

Diagram showing a car interior with labeled parts and directional arrows indicating movement or flow.

  1. Take hold of the coarse filter (A) by the handle with the hole and remove from the microfilter (B).
  2. Clean all filters thoroughly under running water.
  3. Remove the flat filter from the base of the washing compartment and clean both faces thoroughly.

WESTINGHOUSE SB908WL - Before cleaning the filters ensure that the machine is switched off. - 3

natural_image Illustration of a hand holding a circular object inside a perforated metal tray (no text or symbols)
  1. Put the flat filter back in the base of the washing compartment and ensure that it fits perfectly.

  2. Place the coarse filter (A) in the microfilter (B) and press together.

  3. Put the filter combination in place and lock by turning the handle clockwise to the stop. During this process ensure that the flat filter does not protrude above the base of the washing compartment.

WESTINGHOUSE SB908WL - Before cleaning the filters ensure that the machine is switched off. - 4

NEVER use the dishwasher without filters. Incorrect repositioning and fitting of the filters will produce poor washing results and may result in damage to the appliance.

WESTINGHOUSE SB908WL - Before cleaning the filters ensure that the machine is switched off. - 5

NEVER try to remove the spray arms.

If residues of soil have clogged the holes in the spray arms, remove them with a toothpick.

External cleaning

Clean the external surfaces of the machine and control panel with a damp soft cloth. If necessary use only mild detergents. Never use abrasive products, scouring pads or solvent (acetone, trichloroethylene etc....).

Ensure that the seals around the door, the detergent and rinse aid dispensers are cleaned regularly with a damp cloth.

We recommend every 3 months to run the wash program for heavy soiled dishes using detergent but without dishes.

Prolonged periods of non-operation

If you are not using the machine for any prolonged period of time you are advised to:

  1. Unplug the appliance and then turn off the water.
  2. Leave the door ajar to prevent the formation of any unpleasant smells.
  3. Leave the inside of the machine clean.

Frost precautions

Avoid placing the machine in a location where the temperature is below 0^ C. If this is unavoidable, empty the machine, close the appliance door, disconnect the water inlet pipe and empty it.

Moving the machine

If you have to move the machine (moving house etc....):

  1. Unplug it.
  2. Turn the water tap off.
  3. Remove the water inlet and discharge hoses.
  4. Pull the machine out together with the hoses.

Avoid over tilting the machine during transportation.

Installation

WESTINGHOUSE SB908WL - Installation - 1

Any electrical and/or plumbing work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician and/or plumber or competent person.

Remove all packaging before positioning the machine.

If possible, position the machine next to a water tap and a drain.

During all operations that involve accessibility to internal components the dishwasher has to be unplugged.

When inserting the machine, ensure that the water inlet hose, the drain hose and the supply cable are not kinked or squashed.

Water supply connections

This dishwasher may be fed with either hot (max. 60°) or cold water. However, a hot water supply is not always efficient with very soiled crockery as it shortens the washing programmes a lot. Therefore we recommend connection to a cold water supply.

The water coupling nut fitted to the machine's supply hose is designed to screw onto a 3/4" BSP thread spout.

The water pressure must be within the limits given in the "Technical specifications". Your local Water Authority will advise you on the average mains pressure in your area.

When the dishwasher is likely to be connected to a solar hot water system, drip heater, or any other supply where temperatures in excess of 60^ are anticipated, a water temperature tempering valve should be installed. A pressure reducing valve must be fitted if the hot water supply pressure exceeds 350 kPa or the cold supply pressure exceeds 800 kPa.

The water inlet hose must not be kinked, crushed, or entangled when it is being connected.

The dishwasher features fill and drain hoses which can be turned either to the left or the right to suit the installation by means of the locknut.

If the machine is connected to new pipes or pipes which have not been used for a long time, you should run the water for a few minutes before connecting the inlet hose.

Always use a new hose-set when connecting the appliance to the water mains. An old hose-set must not be reused. The inlet hose should be inspected every 12 months for deterioration and replaced if necessary.

This appliance has been fitted with safety features which will prevent the water used in the appliance from returning back into the drinking water system. This appliance complies with the applicable plumbing regulations.

Drain hose

  • Connect drain hose to the sink. Secure it with the supplied hose clamp.
  • Required height: 30 to 100 cm above bottom of the dishwasher.
  • If you use a drain hose extension the total length should not be longer than 4 metres. Likewise the internal diameter of the couplings used for connections to the waste outlet must be no smaller than the diameter of the hose provided. Ensure the hose is not bent or squashed as this could prevent or slow down the discharge of water.

max 100 cm min 30 cm

Likewise the internal diameter of the couplings used for connections to the waste outlet must be no smaller than the diameter of the hose provided.

When connecting the drain hose to an under sink trap spigot, the entire plastic membrane must be removed. Failure to remove all the membrane will result in food particles building up over time eventually blocking the dishwasher drain hose spigot.

Remove entire internal membrane

Our appliances are supplied with a security device to protect against the return of dirty water back into the machine.

If the spigot of your sink has a "no return valve" incorporated this can prevent the correct draining of your dishwasher. We therefore advise you to remove it.

Electrical connection

WESTINGHOUSE SB908WL - Electrical connection - 1

Safety standards require the appliance to be earthed. Prior to using the appliance for the first time, ensure that the rated voltage and type of supply on the rating plate match that of the supply where the appliance is to be installed. The fuse rating is also to be found on the rating plate.

Always plug the mains plug into a correctly installed approved socket.

Multi-way plugs, connectors and extension cables must not be used. This could constitute a fire hazard through overheating.

If necessary, have the domestic wiring system socket replaced. If the electrical supply cord has to be replaced, contact your local Customer Care centre.

The plug must be accessible after the appliance has been installed.

Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the cable. Always pull the plug.

The manufacturer accepts no liability for failure to observe the above safety precautions.

Building-in

This dishwasher is designed to be fitted either under a kitchen counter or a worksurface.

It is essential that the recess dimensions indicated in the illustration are followed.

No further openings for venting of the dishwasher are required, but only to let the water fill and drain hose and power supply cable pass through.

The height of the recess where the dishwasher is to be installed can vary between 820 and 880 mm from the floor since the dishwasher is fitted with adjustable feet (max. 60 mm).

Leave a space of 2 mm between the top of the dishwasher and the underside of the kitchen counter.

820÷880 600

Adjusting the height of the dishwasher

To adjust the height proceed as follows:

  1. Remove the adjustable plinth.

  2. Adjust the height of the two front feet.

  3. Adjust the rear foot by turning the screw in the middle of the front kick plate to the left or to the right.

  4. Replace the adjustable plinth.

Good levelling is essential for correct closure and sealing of the door. When the appliance is correctly levelled, the door will not catch on the levelling spacers on either side of the cabinet.

If the door does not close properly, loosen or tighten the adjustable feet until the machine is perfectly level.

Adjusting the height of the plinth

It is important for the dishwasher to be absolutely horizontal so that the door seals properly.

The adjustable feet are to be turned to the left or right until the dishwasher is horizontal.

If there is a space at the bottom of the machine, this can be covered by lowering the plinth.

Securing the dishwasher
WESTINGHOUSE SB908WL - Fitting the steam protection - 2

The dishwasher must be secured to the underside of the worktop or to adjacent units by using the brackets supplied. Neglect to do this can cause injury or damage. Under no circumstances may holes be drilled through the sides of the dishwasher since this could damage the hydraulic components.

  1. Locate the angular brackets in the slots on the top of the dishwasher.
  2. Adjust the height of the dishwasher.
  3. Secure the dishwasher in position (upwards or sideways) by using the screws supplied.
    Make sure the screws are tightened.
